CW Rugby Opening Day Gala a family affair

Oak Bay – Saturday’s CW Rugby gala opening at Windsor Park with feature current National Senior Men and Women who will help host mini and junior sessions with the day featuring a Premiership match between our men vs. the University of Victoria.

“Our opening day is one of the best days of the year for our club as we celebrate our players, coaches, volunteers and also recognize our National representative players that have worn the Tricolours and are currently playing for Canada which is proof of quality of our great program” said Castaway Wanderers President Matt Gordon. “The day is a true family affair with something for everyone and to cap it off with a Premier match vs. UVIC, fans can expect a high-paced and entertaining game. I encourage everyone to come out, meet with the Rugby Canada players who have worn the CW jersey and enjoy a fun filled day of rugby at every age level.”

Saturday’s gala rugby opening is especially important for new players and parents to come and learn what the Castaway Wanderers are all about. Today, CW Rugby involves more than 350 players in our mini, junior, senior men and women’s teams plus dozens of coaches, managers and other volunteers.

“Running a community club of our size can only happen if we have volunteers committing their time and energy to the club,” said Gordon. “CW has been very fortunate to have the most loyal volunteers, but more are always needed, and we hope that by introducing ourselves to more parents and community members this weekend we may attract new volunteers.”

There will be no shortage of activities on the day including the flagship senior men’s match vs. UVic, former and current National players helping out with “Try Rugby” activities planned for boys and girls, aged 7 – 15. For the youngest of rugby enthusiasts, we will have an inflatable Rugby Canada “mini pitch” for the ‘pre-minis’ onsite to romp around.

The day will also include a fun challenge touch game between CW alumni (men and women) and CW’s senior women’s team at 2:15pm.

For parents and players, CW kit will be on display for sale or sizing for online ordering and purchase. Volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions from parents (including registration).
